According to the taste of middle-aged women in our country, if you have money to find a cowherd, maybe you will also find some fresh meat.

Fortunately, this film is not as superficial as my stereotype. Sharon Stone plays an upper-middle-class female dermatologist who lacks her husband's moisture. Her lesbian companion is a hot and rich Spanish girl. Another major clientele depicted in the film is a middle-aged widow who has been shackled to strict Judaism since childhood. What they have in common is that although they are no longer young, they are still very delicate and beautiful, well-educated or attractive. Why do they need to pay for the cowherd to comfort themselves? This is a film that will create suspense or challenge the audience. place of values.

From Sharon Stone's sideline, it can be seen that love or marriage has let her down. She is panting for sex while swearing at her husband's photo. It can be seen that looking for a cowherd is not simply to vent her dissatisfaction. lust, but also to vent her anger towards her husband. But she seems to have to be trapped in the cage of this hypocritical and luxurious marriage.

In addition, it can be seen that even if middle-aged women are looking for a cowherd, they are still not just looking for carnal desires, but they also need something that can comfort their souls. Women will always be more sexual and less greasy than men. From this point of view, it seems to understand why they are satisfied with the service of the not young and handsome flower arranging man, because he treats them as women and treats them like a gentleman or 'serving' them.

The line of the Jewish widow may be easier to understand and resonate with the audience in our country. From a psychological point of view, she may not have been seen for a long time. Or rather, touched. Culturally, the traditional culture of our country also educates women through various dogmas. For Jewish widows, it is a canon article, no hair can be exposed, and reading is not allowed. . . The patriarchal world holds women in the same way. The mere touch of her back brought tears to her face. It wasn't because she lacked comfort after being a widow. She cried because no one had ever touched her like this. It was really sad to think about it. She gave birth to six children, but no man had ever really touched her. Here I seem to see a lot of withered, or withered Chinese women. . .

Personally, I actually don't like the appearance of this male protagonist, too shy or paralyzed. Personally, I think the main reason why he will play the flower arranging man is that he is the director. . . There must be a better cast.

Although the main creators of this film are two men, they still speak out for women, which is quite touching.

    The movie style is good Woody, there are no big ups and downs in the plot, and a lot of big names appear beautifully. Not every handsome guy can go from young to handsome, and not every handsome guy can speak several languages ​​and can continue to study tirelessly.
